The unnamed narrator of Tales of Albionalso refers to pirates operating out of Oakvale before he went on a quest to shut down their operations.

In Fable II, pirates and piracy is mentioned a lot. The greater emphasis on naval trade and the improvements to navigation and ship design have also caused a boom in piracy, with the port town of Bloodstone being effectively controlled by pirates because of the lack of law and the easy accessibility to the sea.

Two of the most noted pirates ever were Captain Dread, once the master of Bloodstone and Albion's "Pirate King," and Reaver, who killed him and took his place.The crew of Captain Dread can be encountered in-game as Ghost Pirates. These are murderous ghosts that can be fought in The Sinkhole and aboard The Marianne.

Humourously, the unnamed protagonist of Tales of Albion compares pirates to bandits, wondering why it is that the bandits of the land are universally reviled while the pirates of the sea make women swoon.
